Of course, our ever-reliable Scandinavian correspondent Mikael Lyck also gives us his detailed insight into the late

Ikon Collectables are renowned for their beautifully designed Phantom collectibles, with statues, bobbleheads, rings and mugs making their way into many phans' collections over the last few years.

In Episode #104 of X-Band: The Phantom Podcast we had the unique opportunity to chat with author and The Phantom: Treasures of Drakon board game co-creator Dale Maccanti.

From what we can gather, these limited release items were available in the Jack & Jones brick and mortar stores, as well as online shops like myntra.com. With help from great Indian phan phriends in Swaroop Chand and Sudhir Sid T

Hopefully in this post we can remove some of the hard work for you in finding them a Christmas present, and ideally something they don't already have... NOTE: socks, jocks and towels do NOT count as Christmas gifts unless they have The Phantom on them! The information below should be a
